"You know what? I can appreciate a good practical joke," Rodgers told ESPNWisconsin.com. "I think in order to be someone who enjoys doing those things, you have to know at some point it's going to come back to you.

But I respect the prank."

Rodgers then warned reporters of a second -- less-charitable -- prank on the horizon, a gag targeting Kuhn and Goode that would bypass the whimsy of shaving cream pies for something darker.

"They've got to understand when they do it to me, it's going to come back probably twice as hard," Rodgers said.
